Appreciate your take on this. Those of us who wince at spending time in the Social Mess Halls may be inclined to build our personal curios in dusty corners of the net, content with a dozen views a month, but that does not serve as a rebellion to the problems in tech. There must be some better way we can think as groups of people, on necessarily large platforms. Something better than Dorsey and Zuck have managed to build.
I am very concerned about the metaverse trend, it's like people watched the Matrix and thought "yeah, let me plug into the machine and not deal with real life" and didn't catch the moral of Ready Player One, "Real Life is the only thing thats Real", but were sold on the nostalgia orgasm of having Jurrasic Park and Back to the Future in the same game.
I would like to build some anti-meta-verse, that helps you build the actual world by keeping your attention on your own intentions, not allowing your mind to wander at the whim of ad-campaign designers (we can all agree the IOI represented facebook, right? the bad guys that want to fill 80% of your peripheral vision with ads? but if it is more addictive then real life, of course people will choose to spend their time there.)
